Don’t you think it kinda funny he wrote that review after watching just one of the videos? He’s obviously being coached on what to write. Some of the things he wrote aren’t even associated with that video.

Yeah, that was quite the warm welcome from the CTE ambassadors. Among the many obvious hilarious attributes on display, one thing I've noticed is that the wonder twins literally have literally zero original things to say - everything is just repetitive dogma gibberish that has been posted for decades. The need to demonize and bash literally anyone & everyone who may have even the slightest dissenting opinion from Stan - is really a bit disturbing and should be a rather obvious sign to anyone. Also a healthy dose of paranoia it seems… Honestly, their behavior reflects some personality disorder/mental health issues - so maybe we should respectfully just stop antagonizing them and offer empathy, like when a senile old uncle visits.
@dquarasr - If you really want to get the essence of CTE, IMO its much better to start with Hal Houle's original humble writeup on 3-angle. The “magical nature” of the 3 angles & "secrets of the pros" stuff sort of sets the tone for the decades of self referencing mystique & elitism from the sycophants that has followed, but the essence of using the center & edges of the CB to aim at quarter ball fractions and secondary parallel reference aiming lines - are indeed quite useful tools, and will get you very close to the shotline. There are also some decent YT vids from "neutral" non whackjob sources that do a decent job explaining the basics - Lil Chris seems a nice mellow guy and did a few vids on it that shows the basics pretty efficiently & non confrontationally
From there the faith devolves a bit into a convoluted world of pivoting and all sorts of things associated with fine tuning to the actual shot line, which are the obvious main issues that CTE has struggled with through all of its various versions, which you have correctly sniffed out. There are other, simpler, better ways (IMO) to skin the cat using these same tools, but I have found that all these systems require significant time at the table to develop along with deep introspection into one's own game. That can obviously be said for anyone pursuing the game at a high level. CTE is a fine visual tool, among many available, but the freakish cult like perspectives from most of the tribe has apparently become just one of the many quirky, interesting things about pool culture.
Cheers

LMAO. dquarasr is no rookie and no C- player. He's been around pool for a long time and not who he pretends to be with that alias.
And as far as you go, you're a total liar and shit starter like you always are by posting that he was told he's not good enough to use CTE yet. After he watched the video, HE was the one that started knocking CTE. But he didn't need to knock the video because he knew what it and CTE was about a long time ago.
It has no bearing on CTE, where it is and where it's going. YOU, PJ and the latest new boneheads posting in here now have no influence on the current state of CTE and where it's headed. It hasn't been stopped since Hal made his first post in 1997, nowhere in between, and certainly not now with thousands of pool players in this country and all over the world using it and happily involved. It just keeps growing and getting better.
So, keep up the futile work with as many goofballs as you can like you and PJ with sleepless nights thinking about what you can post next that's going to change everything and reverse its course. It's not going to do a damn bit of good because the train left the station a good while back while you were whining and crying. Didn't thwart anything then and certainly not going to now.
Not likely.
Yes, you're a real Ghandi.
If you stop posting the insanity will be gone.
We definitely know you'll always be posting negatively and don't know a damn thing about it.
Nope, just a working stiff who plays pool and has a respect for the people who worked hard in creating it.
Not hardly. It started way before I was even a member. You were a part of it, and I'll repeat what I said above...you don't even know a damn thing about it.
Not sure why you keep posting about reporting a PBIA instructor. I couldn't care less, personally. Last I checked nobody arguing in this forum is a PBIA instructor.

This has to be one of the most hilarious posts on AZB. Surely its a prank, right?
I’m no expert in such things, but I think old Spidey might be suffering from some conditions associated with BPD & NPD. The good news is that there is treatment available. Wishing him well on his life journey.

Back to IGNORE. You served your purpose and served it well.
I guess that's only because I don't argue.
@Bob Jewett , does the PBIA support gimmickry in pool instruction?
Well, hey, when you already know everything why bother to argue?I guess that's only because I don't argue.
The PBIA does not dictate how individual instructors teach. A common curriculum and related material is offered to instructors, but what they use from that is up to them.

So if I were to become PBIA certified I would be at liberty to teach my Jelly Bean Method (JBM) as a PBIA instructor?
Wow, what a douche! I actually thought higher of you, Spider.
LMAO! What a bunch of crap. Anybody on Earth who uses CTE and defends it is MORE than a douche! Spit it all out!
(sorry guys, I gotta run for the rest of the day. Hold those thoughts and each other's hand)
Did you just call yourself a double douche?

Wait, I’m so confused. So Spidey thinks that the @dquarasr guy is actually a sockpoppet who is secretly a stud pool player with a PhD and PBIA instructor, in cahoots with Dr Dave to attack Stan? Is that whats going on?
Fook man, I can’t get any work done with this soap opera running in the background…
And WTF isn’t his ignore button working?

You've said and accused Stan of way worse, what does that make you?
No, his comment went right over your head as usual. lmao
